Plot

The film begins as Kalishankar (Mithun Chakraborty), a notorious international gangster, runs away from jail. His gang members, Mazditta (Raza Murad) and the mentally challenged Rudra (Nirmal Pandey) are working with him. The case is handed to police officer Inspector Pandey (Vishwajeet Pradhan), but his plans to catch Kali fail every time. The DSP (Tej Sapru) orders the inspector to encounter Kali wherever he sees him. One day he prepares for the encounter with the entire police team. Suddenly the DSP arrives and stops everything. He says that he is not Kali, but a CBI officer named Ravi Verma who was actually Kali's body double and is pretending to be Kali these days.

Verma (also Mithun Chakraborty) is a sincere person who is leading a simple life with his widowed mother, his wife Rajani (Archana), his son Bunty and his sister Jinal (Roshini). Kali wants to take revenge on Verma since he had caused Kali major losses. He tries to kill him one day when Verma goes to a national park with his family. When Kali shoots at him, the shot misses and kills Bunty. Verma then starts investigating the murder. One day, Verma is sitting near his son's grave when suddenly Kali arrives and tries to kill him.
